    Finally got it...on one !

    Loading up fine now on a Toshiba laptop. Tried a couple of times to make sure.

    However, it is still a "no load" on the Acer T-135 desktop where I normally use Kubuntu 8.04 ...this is my third burn of 8.10 and they all install only on the Toshiba ?!

    EDIT: would just like to add..does the exact with Ubuntu also.

    Is the BIOS set to boot from CD first?

      Yes, of course.
      They start installing and freeze before seeing any graphical interface. same with Ub and Kub.

        Almost always, this is the result of a video problem. What video card/chip set is in the Acer?

            When at the LiveCD main menu, press the function key to start in Safe Graphics mode. This should allow you to install, and then you can work on getting the VIA-Unichrome properly setup/configured.

              That did it Snowhog
              Still being a newb here, I have been literally pulling my hair out wondering why the heck it wasn't working for me...we live and learn - which BTW leads me to wonder how flawlessly Hardy Heron loads up on this computer and Intrepid is not following suit (at least with my system)
              I thought I would be forever using good ole Hardy Heron

              THANKS Snowhog
